Interesting that he was a fan of Taboo.

The answer to #7 is Sondheim at his most surprising and perverse.

I love his wording of that last answer.

What's funny, Capn, is that I had four different people e-mail this to me last night. I seriously think that's a sign I've got to tone down the obsession a bit.

Question #11:

What do you really think of Adam Guettel's work?

[CapnHook]

Posted: 7/12/05 at 7:56pm

Haha, I know what you mean, StickToPriest. I get Peter Pan articles constantly.

I read this article and thought those were not the questions I'd be asking him....what would you ask?

"I read this article and thought those were not the questions I'd be asking him....what would you ask?"

Do you really have a bondage dungeon in your house? Is that how Neil Patrick Harris got cast in Assassins?

Was your neighbor Katherine Hepburn really the source for Mrs. Lovett?

it's "katharine"- if you don't get it right, she pulls a poltergeist.

Priest, that amused me a great deal.

I'd heard before that he loved Taboo and I like that he gave something that's very different from his own style a chance. And he doesn't have perfect pitch? That's like almost suggesting that Sondheim is flawed....

*gasp* sondheim flawed?! Is that possible???

"Taboo. I thought it was inventive, and I was touched by it, and I thought it looked good. All the way through I had a good time. And a few of the songs really moved me. I got involved in it--and it's not my kind of music."

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

*gasp*

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..


*gasp*

eeeeeeeeeeeee-*passes out*

(I liked Taboo, too. I'm really happy that Sondheim agrees with me)

YAY ROSIE!

Rosie used to live near me.

But I think she moved.

Wow! He's a fan of Taboo! That's just awesome.

Fascinating read! And, I, too, love that he loved TABOO.

[MatureDignity]

Posted: 7/13/05 at 12:57am

He was at closing night... I think he saw it before that, too.

[DAME]

Posted: 7/13/05 at 1:37am

He has mentioned that in a few things.
